Review this presentation on individual tax planning including key considerations to make in the closing months of 2013 and into 2014 - O'Connor Davies CPA - NYC CPA Firm.
This document presents an executive bonus plan that allows businesses to reward key employees through tax-deductible insurance policies.

New Zealand - Proposed Employee Share Scheme ChangesMatthew Minnema
油
The New Zealand Inland Revenue Department released an issues paper in May 2016 proposing changes to the taxation of employee share schemes. The proposals aim to align the tax treatment of share schemes with cash payments by distinguishing between conditional and unconditional schemes. The changes may result in some share schemes being taxed earlier and higher taxes for employees. Employers and those with approved share schemes are encouraged to review how the proposed changes could impact them. Public submissions on the proposals are requested by 22 June 2016.
Employee share schemes can help businesses attract and retain talent while allowing employees to save money in a tax-efficient way. There are two categories of share schemes - approved and unapproved - with approved schemes providing tax and national insurance benefits. The four most common approved schemes are Save As You Earn (SAYE), Share Incentive Plans (SIP), Company Share Option Plans (CSOP), and Enterprise Management Incentives (EMI). SAYE allows employees to purchase shares at a discount, SIP offers free shares and matching shares, CSOP provides share options, and EMI is for small companies. Each scheme has different eligibility rules and tax treatment that employers must carefully consider to select the best fit.
